Why Choose Us for Rebedding in Wellard?
Rebedding is resetting ridge caps and hips in fresh mortar after the old stuff has cracked. Wellard's clay soils cause more mortar failure than average, the seasonal wet-dry cycle moves the house structure enough to crack even good quality pointing. On a tile roof that's 15 to 20 years old, you often need rebedding as part of a bigger restoration. We use polymer-modified mortar that flexes with ground movement rather than cracking rigid like traditional cement. A properly rebedded ridge stops water finding its way down into the roof structure, which is often the source of leaks in older Wellard homes. It's not glamorous work, but it's essential.
Ridge capping mortar in Wellard cracks consistently because clay soil movement shifts the roof structure. Rebedding replaces that failed mortar with flexible polymer-modified compound that moves with the structure instead of cracking. This is maintenance-critical for Wellard's 2000s-built homes where ground movement is the primary roof enemy.

Benefits of Rebedding for Wellard Properties
Fixes caps at the cause
When the mortar bed under a ridge cap breaks down, the cap loosens and lets water in. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar so it sits solid again, which pointing alone can't do.
Done with repointing
Rebedding and repointing go together. We re-bed the caps, then seal them with flexible pointing, so the whole ridge line is solid and watertight in one job.
Stops caps lifting in the wind
A cap sitting on failed bedding can slide or lift in a Perth storm. Rebedding fixes it down properly before it ends up in the yard.
Cheaper than the damage
Loose caps and a failing ridge line let water straight into the roof. Rebedding early costs far less than the leaks and ceiling damage that follow.
Our Rebedding Process in Wellard
- 1
Check the ridge line
We inspect every ridge and hip cap and the mortar bed under it, and work out which caps need re-bedding versus just repointing.
Why it matters: Not every cap needs the full job.
- 2
Lift the failed caps
Caps sitting on broken-down bedding are lifted off and the old mortar cleared away.
Why it matters: Fresh mortar needs a clean surface to bond to.
- 3
Re-bed on fresh mortar
The caps are re-laid on a fresh mortar bed, set straight and solid along the ridge.
Why it matters: The bedding is what physically holds the cap.
- 4
Repoint with flexible compound
Once bedded, the caps are sealed with flexible pointing, colour-matched to the roof.
Why it matters: Flexible pointing seals the join and moves with the roof.

Why does my ridge capping mortar keep cracking? ▾
Wellard's clay soils move seasonally. Winter saturation and summer drying cause measurable ground shift that transfers to your roof. Standard mortar can't flex with that movement. Cracks appear again within 1 to 2 years. Flexible polymer mortar is the solution.
How often do I need to rebid my ridge capping? ▾
With flexible mortar, 10 to 15 years. With standard mortar in Wellard, cracking can appear every 2 to 3 years as clay soil moves. Rebedding with polymer-modified compound addresses the root cause and stops the cycle.
What's the difference between rebedding and repointing? ▾
Bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. Pointing is the flexible compound that seals the join on top. Rebedding re-lays the cap on fresh mortar; repointing seals it. A cap with failed bedding needs both. We'll tell you which yours needs.
How much does roof rebedding cost in Perth? ▾
It depends on how many caps need re-bedding and access to the roof. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price. We usually rebed and repoint in the one visit, which is more cost-effective than doing them separately.
Do I need rebedding or just repointing? ▾
If the caps are still solid and only the pointing has cracked, repointing alone does it. If the caps are loose or the mortar bed underneath has crumbled, they need re-bedding first. Pointing over failed bedding just fails again.
How long does rebedding last? ▾
Caps re-bedded on fresh mortar and sealed with flexible pointing typically last 10 to 15 years or more.
Can you match the pointing to my roof colour? ▾
Yes. Flexible pointing comes in a range of colours and we match it to your tiles for a clean, consistent ridge line.
